Explore health as a return to wholeness with 12 treasured healing practitioners from varied disciplines by gaining new tools, perspective, and practices. Discover your life-long power to heal your mind, body and spirit.

JUNE 27-29

Cost: $525
Includes marine transportation, workshop fees, facility use, and room and board.

Come away to a secluded island just minutes from downtown Portland. Let go of the patterns, schedules, habits and ways of thinking that define and limit you. Leave your everyday world behind and come to a place where something completely new can happen. Let go of the bits and pieces of who you think you are and find out what your wholeness looks like. Come to Cow Island for a weekend and discover your life-long power to heal your body, mind, and spirit.

We will explore practices, treatments, foods, herbs and other natural medicines that not only sustain our health and vitality but also support us through the challenges of disintegration and the rediscovery of wholeness.

This kind of healing is not about "getting back to your old self again" but rather about finding your way to a completely new, more vital, empowered and healthy way of being you. It is not hum drum healing for the faint of heart but extraordinary healing for extraordinary times, healing for human beings who still hear the song of the waves in the night, who still believe that something wonderful is waiting out there just over the horizon, who still trust in the magic of the sea and are willing to sail out in search of adventure!

Limited to 35 participants.
